The latter wins out for me, so I would prefer not to have this patch
so the test suite can detect important newlines that should be not be
part of the translatable string.
FWIW that's why I kept it this way. I can't recall the specific cases
but I smoked out some issues with the poison feature that I wouldn't
have smoked out if it had a \n at the end.
Arguably we should make it even less user friendly and have it
randomly output 10-50 bytes of binary garbage to catch more errors.
